Volunteering is a great career booster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteering is a great CV booster that can set you apart from the rest. If you and another candidate look the same on paper what will you have to differentiate&nbsp;yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteering is a surefire way to get you ahead of the competition and secure your next career move. Lots of companies allow employees to take volunteering days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Career-boosting volunteers used their\u00a0experience\u00a0as a great way to network and meet influential\u00a0people. Want to work in event management? Volunteer in events.\u00a0Want to work in Football? Volunteer at a local\u00a0club. Simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Helping a good cause\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want a sense of satisfaction and contentment, research&nbsp;tells us <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.movingworlds.org\/volunteering-makes-you-happier\/\">volunteers are happier<\/a> and feel greater levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/14616696.2012.750732\">trust in their community<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons why people all over the world volunteer. Often its because they have been directly affected by a cause or issue. People want to give back to the organisation or cause that helped them in a proactive way, people like to feel that they can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncvo.org.uk\/ncvo-volunteering\/why-volunteer\">make a difference<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working to make a difference about things you care about will make you feel better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Personal improvement\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get out of your comfort zone and volunteer. If you have never done it before getting started can be tough!\u00a0But it is sure to develop you as a person.\u00a0Volunteers often report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01488370802162483?scroll=top&amp;needAccess=true\">higher levels of confidence and self-esteem<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The skills you gain from volunteering can help you improve your everyday life.\u00a0Volunteering in itself can make you feel both humble and good about yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t&nbsp;want that?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Health benefits\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research reports that volunteering can actually make you a healthier and happier person. For instance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>94% of volunteers say that after 12 months of volunteering, they feel physically more healthy and their mood has improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>96% of people who have been volunteering for at least a year say that volunteering has given them a purpose in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to read more about the health&nbsp;benefits&nbsp;volunteer offers <a href=\"https:\/\/nonprofithub.org\/featured\/8-long-term-health-benefits-of-volunteering\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. It&#8217;s Fun!!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>like most scenarios in life, volunteering will be what you make it and if you want it to be fun it will be fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteering is a great way of establishing relationships and making a whole new set of friends. It gets you out and is a fantastic cure for loneliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing something you enjoy, with people who can become\u00a0your friends, whilst potentially helping others.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a win-win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what are you waiting for? <a href=\"https:\/\/tryvolunteering.com\/\">Get searching and find something to volunteer for today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can find\u00a0<span style=\"color: #6fa200;\"><a style=\"color: #6fa200;\" href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/\">TeamKinetic<\/a><\/span> on social media and listen to our podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #1da1f2;\"><a style=\"color: #1da1f2;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #3b5998;\"><a style=\"color: #3b5998;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0a66c2;\"><a style=\"color: #0a66c2;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/teamkinetic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/TeamKinetic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #c32aa3;\"><a style=\"color: #c32aa3;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/teamkineticuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<span style=\"color: #1ed760;\"><a style=\"color: #1ed760;\" href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/teamkinetic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podcast<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you enjoyed using TeamKinetic?
